All Hallows Eve...

Historians link the celebration of halloween to the Celtic festival of Samhain, which marked the end of the lighter half of the year and the beginning of the darker. It was believed that the borders of reality became thin on this night, making humankind vulnerable to the spirits, thus the custom of wearing a frightening costume in order to intimidate the harmful spirits and remain safe for another year. 

Hope you all make it unscathed through this night of shadows...

I wish I was wearing this...

I love this textured gold and black diamond ring by Clare Stoker as an alternative to the typical engagement or promise ring. Or maybe just as a little love letter to yourself...

These sumptuous hats make me wish that every day was either halloween, my wedding day, or one of those fancy british affairs where luxury hats appear to be mandatory...
